So, what are we going to do with our refunded NW certs?

[synkrotron]

Hmmm... I think I need to seek advice.

I've had certs refunded because the Nanoweave certs have been removed from my characters.

So I am wondering what I am best reinvesting my refunded certs into.

I could just cert up my Nanoweave again, but by the sounds of it, it's not as simple as that and I need to do some serious thinking.

One thing for sure, I won't bother with my LA and HA certs for now, because I hardly use those classes.

So, what are the options, and why?

cheers

I have 2 options now that NW is no longer more or less forced. Flak and shield recharge.

Flak is good for most areas where you have a lot of things that go boom. Vehicle driver, MAX bitch, or in spamable areas that don't lock vehicles out.

Shield recharge is goo for almost anything that wont kill you outright. If you find that you tend to not take much HP damage in most fights a faster shield should work wonders. Does great with a cloaker that has no time to sit exposed waiting for a shield to regen.


I can't say about the other things as I don't use them.

[HereticusXZ]

Munitions Pouch for my Heavy = 8 rockets, Fuck you aircraft!!.

Flak for my Engineer = Repair tanks with less concern for incoming explosives.

Grenade Bandolier for my Medic = ALL THE REVIVE GRENADE XP!!!

Adrenaline Pump on LA = Gotta go fast and bullets to slow!

Ammunition Belt for my Infiltrator = Less time dancing between Snipers nest and the nearest resupply.

Nanite Auto for the MAX = Fuck you lazy Engineers, I don't need you!

That's where my certs refund were divided into...

hmmm from nanoweave I'm going with..... nanoweave, there's these people out there and they keep shooting at me

with the changes in deployments we use that a lot more now.

even with the upcoming nerf- it's still the most important cert line for units

I had full NW on my Medic but I don't think I'll be recerting back into it.

Considering I have my HP regen maxed, the shield capacitor looks to be more interesting to increase survivability.

On the other hand, having recently unlocked revive grenades, the extra grenade is also very appealing.

At the end of the day, I tend to be more conservative in my approach when playing Medic. I'm all about the support, even if AR's are pretty good for killing stuff. There are plenty of people to take care of business in that respect.

If you most often die as a result of small arms fire - get nano weave.

If you most often die as a result of explosives get flak armor - or learn to play smarter.

[Fara]

Probably Flak armour, if Nanoweave helped resist headshots (because we all have helmets, lots and lots and lots of helmets which do NOTHING /sigh) then it would still be the default for most classes but it doesn't. Also its fairly heavily dependent on if you are solo playing or working with say an organized platoon/squad outfit.

This would be my choice if I was squad playing.
Medic = grenade bandolier (+3 rez nades is imba)
Engi = Flak (Max/vehicle/turret repairs all attract explosives)
HA = Flak/Grenade Bandolier 4xConc/AV nade (nano no longer stacks with resist)
MAX = Kinetic for indoor, Flak for outdoor ie non-infantry (auto regen if solo)
LA = Dependent on situation, flashbangs are crap. Probably flak or Nano.
Infil = Maybe grenade bandolier for 4x EMP nades. I don't play infil much myself but as a squad leader its a powerful grenade to use in squad vs squad play.

These are only rough suggestions, depends on the situation you are expected to fight.

[Rolfski]

Put it back in, it's still a useful upgrade.

[synkrotron]

Thanks for your thoughts everyone

I'm kinda thinking the same...

[War Barney]

Is flak actually useful now with this patch? I've had maxed NW and flak on my heavy for a while and even with flak almost every explosion 1 shot me so I just never used it

[Baneblade]

80% of the damage reductions and resist changes are supposed to make flak viable for infantry.

This is a pretty good comprehensive list of options and why you should consider them ( also made me laugh ).

[wasdie]

For my faster moving classes I went with the advanced shield capacitor. That seems to be the logical step. For my medic, engineer, and heavy assault I just put back on nanoweave as the overall damage reduction is kind of necessary if you can't move around as fast.

[Falcon_br]

Got nanoweaver back to all classes, I was in a hurry to spend 15k certs.
Also got shield capacitator to the medic
Ammo ponch for light assault.
Flak for eng.
Shield for infiltrator.
Adrenaline pump for light
Missel ponch for heavy
And I plan to get grenade punch for the medic.
